Postrock

Postrock is a genre of music characterized by its use of rock instruments to create atmospheric, instrumental music that often features lengthy song structures, complex arrangements, and dynamic shifts in tone and intensity. Influenced by genres such as progressive rock, ambient music, and experimental rock, postrock often eschews traditional song structures and vocals in favor of creating immersive soundscapes that evoke a wide range of emotions in the listener. Key elements of postrock include intricate guitar work, layered textures, and a focus on building tension and release throughout a piece.
